Storage System Detailed Installation
This section describes preparing and installing the enclosure(s) into the rack cabinet or the
enclosure into its tower stand (refer to “Installing the Enclosure into the Tower Stand” on
page 27).
After installing the hardware components, go to the “Operating Mode Configuration and
Cabling” section to to complete the enclosure cabling for your selected topology.
Installing the Enclosure into the Rack Cabinet
1
Select an appropriate location within your rack cabinet.
Consider the location of the enclosures in relationship to each other and the host
server to ensure the cables will easily reach between them.
CAUTION:
The power supplies should be removed prior to installing the enclosure
into the rack cabinet. The enclosure chassis could be damaged during
installation due to the added unbalanced weight of the power supplies.
2
Remove the storage system from its shipping carton and inspect for obvious damage.
Remove and open the accessory kit. Open the left and right flaps, and remove the
bezel and mounting rails.
Remove the drives from the foam tray, then remove the foam tray from the box.
Lift the enclosure from the box. Remove the foam from around it and place the
enclosure on a flat surface.
3
Remove the power supplies.
Grasp the power supply handle and slide the release latch to the right with your thumb
as you pull the power supply from the enclosure. Repeat for the second power supply,
if installed.
